John Smith Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Is hell freezing over? Just saw a Facebook post where it mentions that HD are starting their first official web site and Greg Norton says that the three of them are talking. I doubt anything comes of this, but if they did reunite...holy shite. Apparently the Minneapolis Star has more details. Sorry I don't know how to link on my phone otherwise I would.

Oil Can Boyd Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 My take on the article was that Greg was saying that they are talking about issues related to licensing and merchandising not that they are talking about playing again. I suppose anything could happen but having read Bob's autobiography recently, I would be very surprised if they reunited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 That is still way more than I ever would have guessed would happen. In the past I think Mould would have done anything in his power to cut off or gut HD revenue streams just to screw over Hart. This is a big first step. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Greg Norton on facebook earlier today: Whoa, slow down everybody. We're just trying to sell a few t-shirts. There is no reunion in the works. I'd like to thank everyone who shared theChris Riemenschneider piece, some of the headlines were a little misleading. I would like to encourage everyone to check out the web store, Grant Hart (as always) has done a great job with the shirt designs, look for new designs soon. I'd also like to wish Bob Mould a happy birthday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I hope they can get their shit together enough to remaster/remix the Husker catalog. No interest in seeing them tour though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Apparently there is a box set called Savage Young Du coming out in November. 69 songs over three discs/four lp's. It is apparently streaming at NPR. Supposed to be early unreleased stuff. http://www.numerogroup.com/products/hsker-d-savage-young-d http://www.npr.org/2017/09/05/547854997/first-listen-husker-du-savage-young-du Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo Jones Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I can't wait to get my hands on this. It will be so nice to replace the nth generation copies of so much of this material that I have had for years. Just getting a chance after a crazy week to listen to the stream on NPR. The evolution of this band is still something to behold and what it led to is, for my money, some of the best music ever put on tape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I absolutely forgot that I ordered the Savage Young adult set and was pleasantly surprised when I found it st my doorstep today. On first sight it is nicely done. Edit: I got the CD version...so far the packaging is really nice, the booklet is really good. One of the better box set books I've seen. The CD's are held in sleeves with the Husker Du symbol cut out. All in all very nice. The bonus seven inch is on colored vinyl. Have not listened to any of it yet.The in-laws were over. Maybe tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Well worth the time if you are a fan:https://play.radiopublic.com/do-you-remember-a-podcast-about-hsker-d-GmpV5n So far (through 3 ep) this podcast tracks pretty close to the book in the box set. Its nice to hear the voices though. Edit: Ep 4 passes what is written in the Savage Young Du Booklet, which pretty much ends just before Zen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Well worth the time if you are a fan:https://play.radiopublic.com/do-you-remember-a-podcast-about-hsker-d-GmpV5n Don't know why it took me all of these years to listen to this podcast but it's great. Wasn't expecting to have all three members participate. And I knew this but I had forgotten how prolific they were. In 2 1/2 years (July 84 through January 87) they put out five albums including two double albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
